Hey there, lovely reader — I’m so happy you found your way here! 💌
I’m a 24-year-old just trying to figure life out one coffee, breakdown, and spontaneous adventure at a time. This little corner of the internet — Real Girl Journal — is where I pour out all the unfiltered bits of being human.
You’ll find short stories, poems, and personal musings about everything from heartbreak and healing to the tiny joys that make an ordinary Tuesday feel like a movie scene. Sometimes I’ll share photos, writing prompts, or random thoughts that don’t quite fit anywhere else (because that’s real life, right?).
Some days I’m quirky and chaotic — other days I’m deep in thought, trying to make sense of the noise. This blog is for anyone who’s ever felt caught between having it all together and googling how to boil rice again.
So grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and come along as we navigate the weird, wonderful, and painfully honest parts of growing up.
Welcome to the journal. 🌸
xo,
Maddy
